How stressful it is to work in London, in an investment bank or similar environment?

I have thought about the transition from York to London with the hope of a job at a major investment bank. I have some friends who work in investment banks, of which a couple of places such as Surrey moved to London to be. It seems a popular theme of stress and intolerable working long hours at work in London, especially in the financial companies. I want to know how much is it actually true and whether the poor only through self-management? I feel extremely driven and I've always been happy in London and think I could handle, but never really worked there. Working in York seems to chill out and calm, but it is worth moving to work in the city for the higher salary? Works in an investment bank, or handle other financial firms in the city really too stressful?

      It can be positive or negative stress (or energy) in the frame, and you will take in the context of negative energy and you become depressed, and that makes you able to perform less well.
      If you can turn to raise the energy of positive energy and it can be a positive difference to make the performance.
      The reason for the long hours are that the markets would yourself with others on a time to one hour before the eyes of Europe ie USA 4-8 hours behind Asia 6-12 hours

  4. It is very tiring, but the opportunities outweigh them. Not only financial, but it's a great feeling of camardary and fun under the pressure. Bottom line – if you are good you are earning a lot and enjoy it. If you do not (and you know you're not remain) in York.
